Mark makes a joke on this episode 15 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 1: that I always look to him to tell us about 16 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: the Civil rights era as if he was, like, you know, 17 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: a grown man at that time. He was not, but 18 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: he's older than me, so I always looked at him. 19 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: And because he is, you know, and has been steeped 20 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: in the Black church and in the you know, movement 21 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: for Black liberation, and you know, has been shoulder to 22 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: shoulder literally with some of the great leaders of our time. 23 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: And so you know, I hope that you enjoy today's conversation. 24 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: I always enjoy having Mark on the show, and I 25 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: hope that you take something good from it. My conversation 26 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: with our friend Mark Thompson is coming up next, folks. 27 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,279 Speaker 1: I am so excited to welcome back to WOKF Daily 28 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: after kind of a long time my friend, the Reverend 29 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: Mark Thompson, who is the host of Make It Plain. Mark, 30 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: we have been I don't know how many times people 31 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: say the word historic, how many times people a week 32 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: say the word extraordinary. But we are living in some 33 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: wild ass times, very unpredictable, increasingly dangerous, and I want 34 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: to start with the fact that this Republican Party, who 35 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: used to be about quote unquote law and order, used 36 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: to hail the cops, used to uphold institutions and agencies 37 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: around law, now openly threaten the FBI, openly threaten the CIA, 38 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: openly threatened a now former general, the former Joint chiefs 39 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: of Staff Mark General Mark Millie, now are just openly violent, 40 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: hiding behind the First Amendment. And I just want to 41 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: get your thoughts on this moment that many people are 42 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: living on pins and needles. 43 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 2: With Well, it's always good to be with you. Thank 44 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: you for having me. This is a pretty incredible moment. 45 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: I can't even take credit for him about to say, 46 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 2: our friend and dear colleague, Joyanne Reid said this not 47 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: too long ago, Danielle, and that is we are at 48 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 2: the end of politics. So politics is supposed to be 49 00:03:54,040 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 2: about how who gets what, winning wi and sometimes why. 50 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 3: That's it. This is a two party system in this country. 51 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 2: It's not a multi party democracy like even South Africas 52 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 2: or other countries for that matter. And so when you 53 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 2: have a two party democracy and one party is engaging 54 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 2: in intimidation and suppression and violence and literally not governing, yes, 55 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: that leads. 56 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 3: It to the other party. 57 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 2: Where in the way it's set up, it's not as 58 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: if the other party has an absolute majority or able 59 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: to govern. In fact, the party doesn't want to govern, 60 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: is building super majorities around the country. So I want 61 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 2: people to remember six years ago to the march on Washington, 62 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 2: Doctor King said in a position in nullification, I hope 63 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 2: everybody those are big words. Then what a mean what 64 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 2: doctor King say in like fucking black church preacher, like 65 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: doctor King say something heavy. 66 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 3: I don't know. 67 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 2: I don't understand what he said, but it shows sound 68 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 2: good and now I hope people understand what he meant 69 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 2: by that. This is the interposition and nullification of not 70 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 2: just the functioning of the government, but the functionality of 71 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 2: delivering services to American citizens, whom are taxpayers and whom 72 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 2: are not even taxpayers. We're gonna shut it down, We're 73 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 2: gonna make it it's not gonna functions. It's a more 74 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 2: sophisticated form of anarchy, but the violence and the threats 75 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 2: of violence also bring about a more physical form of 76 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 2: anarchy as well. So we are dealing with with with anarchists. 77 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: So we're not talking about politics anymore. We're not talking 78 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 2: about delivery of services. We're not talking about a two 79 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 2: party system where there's a balance and one other political 80 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: entity is seeking votes and support based upon policy that 81 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 2: they want to happen. 82 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 3: They just want to stop everything. 83 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: Stop women, yep from functioning, stop voting, stop us from voting, 84 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 2: just stop stop stop stop stop black people from walking. 85 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 3: Down the store. You know, anything you can stop. 86 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: And as Joyce said the other day, you know, the 87 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 2: media also bears some responsibility in this because at some 88 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 2: point people need to be made to understand that not 89 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 2: only is this into politics, but there are there's no equivalency. 90 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 3: This is false equivalency. Yeap, what there is no. 91 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 2: Equivalent between Hunter Biden and Donald Trump. No, that's not 92 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 2: about that. That does not nullify. That's not mutual nullification. 93 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden is obviously being held accountable for whatever crimes 94 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 2: he's accused of Donald Trump. It is well, but Hunter 95 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 2: Biden didn't run for president, and in living White House, 96 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 2: he's not the president. 97 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: And it's never been an elected official, right, has never 98 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: run for office. So what wrongdoing he does in his 99 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: own life has the implications for his own life. The 100 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: wrongdoings that Donald Trump and his criminalized family have done 101 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: have implications for the nation. 102 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 3: Right, and Trump is the conclusion. 103 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 2: He is the He is the cumulative result of this effort, 104 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 2: going back to Reagan, the stop government. Let's stop government. 105 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 2: Let's stop government now, not only again, we stop it. 106 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 2: We can be anarchists, we can be insurrectionists, we can 107 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 2: overthrow it, we can literally stop elections. And he is 108 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 2: the cumulative manifestation of this coming together at this hour. 109 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 2: So this truly is a different place, and the sooner 110 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 2: that people realize that and accept it and begin articulating it. 111 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 2: That's the only way of going to But we keep 112 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 2: going around sinking, Oh, well, you know it's just high politics. 113 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 3: No, what is the policy? 114 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 2: What are we doing for people? You're paying taxes, you're 115 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 2: not getting anything. Middle class is struggling, all right. I 116 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 2: mean not saying the economy hadn't gotten better, but still 117 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 2: that's relative. Yeah, economy is good, but people still aren't 118 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 2: making the wages they should be making. 119 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: No, because inflation is still high, and the fact is 120 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: that your dollar does not go as far as it 121 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: used to. Right, And I think that, you know, here 122 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: we find ourselves in this place that I don't think 123 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: that we've ever been because you know, correct me if 124 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: I'm wrong, Mark. But during the Civil Rights era, which 125 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: was a dangerous time right in America, there was not 126 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: this or maybe I'm wrong. Let me ask you, what's 127 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: there this allegiance to lawlessness by the Republican Party, by 128 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: the white supremacy and the concernvatives that were working to 129 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: not allow integration in schools that were bombing churches that 130 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: were was there an overt allegiance by a political party 131 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: to just okay it. 132 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 2: Well, to some extent, there was, especially when it came 133 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 2: to some of the state governments and the southern governors. 134 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 3: Yes, George Wallace. 135 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 2: Sent the Alabama State troopers onto the Edmond Pettit's Bridge. 136 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 2: Bull Connor sent the Birmingham Police Force to sick dogs 137 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 2: on people and spray water from fire hoses. 138 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 3: So yeah, but this is the first time you've seen 139 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 3: a national politician. 140 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: Not individual acts by people. 141 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 2: Yes, right, national politician encouraging it in this way, other 142 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 2: than the Civil War of course, and what the Confederacy did. 143 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 2: But the fact of the matter is that now with 144 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 2: a national figure like Donald Trump, you have a president 145 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 2: of the United States. 146 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 3: Think about it too. 147 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 2: Even in the South, Eisenhower was he got caught to 148 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 2: middle Eisenhower had to respond to what was going on 149 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 2: in Little Rock, even if he didn't want to, because 150 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 2: at that time the presidency actually mattered. 151 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 3: Kennedy had to. 152 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 2: Get in things that he didn't when he was elected 153 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 2: president of nineteen sixty he didn't plan to get in. 154 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 2: Some of the things he got into that came on 155 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 2: its own, and the movement made Kennedy an ally and 156 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,599 Speaker 2: for a moment, Eisenhower was too. When he sent in troops. 157 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 2: But think about it, that's when the presidency. 158 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 3: Mattered. 159 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 2: The presidency no longer matters because we are at the 160 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 2: end of politics, that this anarchistic, insurrectionist state. I've probably 161 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 2: said this on your show before. We'll say it again 162 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 2: for those who may have missed it. But if some 163 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 2: of you've heard it, I apologize if it's ad nauseam. 164 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 2: Remember you're you're coming from the civil rights era context 165 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,719 Speaker 2: and folks, Daniel's asking these questions. But I don't want 166 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 2: you all to take her asking me these questions as 167 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 2: a suggestion that I was alive and fully grown. Do 168 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 2: I'm not sure that's what they're trying to do, but 169 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 2: I was a little bit came a few years later. Okay, now, 170 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 2: but check this out. But I read I'm a student 171 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 2: of history. Now when I say this, you all remember 172 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 2: this too. When black people before integration, before desegregation, I'd 173 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 2: like to say desegrogation, because we never were really integrated 174 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 2: before desegregation. If we've scotten the white folks pool, they 175 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 2: had drained the pool. If we stayed in a hotel, 176 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 2: there wasn't decerrogreated. 177 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 3: They had to burn the sheets. If you all remember 178 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 3: in Django. 179 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 2: When Samuel Jackson played Stephen and he should have got 180 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 2: an oscar for the iconic uncle Tom. 181 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 3: And when Dango shows up, he says, where's gonna sleep? 182 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 3: Who's gonna burn the sheets? Right? 183 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 2: Lena Horne often tell the story when she was invited 184 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,959 Speaker 2: to play in big places, they try to put in 185 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 2: the big hotels. Then they burn the sheets after she left. 186 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,719 Speaker 2: That was the mentality civil rights movement. So think about this, 187 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 2: an intelligent, good looking black family of four occupied sixteen 188 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 2: hundred Pennsylvania. 189 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, to burn the sheets. Yes, in fact, you have 190 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 3: to burn the build yep, burn the country down. I 191 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 3: don't think that's heavy. I don't think you need no PhD. 192 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 2: We don't need no whole lot of scholarship or fellowships 193 00:12:58,600 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 2: to figure out I think what I just I think 194 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 2: I just said something. 195 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 3: This really ain't that complicated. 196 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 2: And we've always had to have have had to be 197 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 2: the ones to articulate, hello, the truth about what they 198 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 2: did to us. See, the oppressor of the predator never 199 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 2: does that. 200 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 3: M HM. 201 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 2: Hitler would say, they framed what they were doing, They 202 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 2: put their spin on what they were doing. 203 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 3: The Holocaust victims sayid, no, no, this is what's really 204 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 3: going on. 205 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 2: Nobody heard them, nobody believed them even here in this country. 206 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 3: Oh man, Yo, they ain't nobody really doing that. They'll 207 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 3: tripping same thing here. 208 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 2: They are burning the sheets and by this they burn 209 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 2: the sheets in the sixties and during Django's time. I'm 210 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 2: saying now in this era, they're burning down the country. 211 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: I mean, Mark, that is a word right there, got 212 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: to preach one because, you know, because the reality is 213 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: that we all know, right intellectually speaking, that this is 214 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: a white lash from the Obama presidency. But to say, 215 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: to put it in the context of burning the sheets 216 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: and the fact that this black family, this black man 217 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: becomes president of the United States, not for four years 218 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: but for eight right is still held up as and 219 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: will be, you know, potentially remembered as one of the 220 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: great presidents of a really interesting time in America because 221 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: we don't know what this timeline is going to be 222 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: of destruction and anarchy that we're in. But to equate 223 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: it to the fact that, I mean, this goes beyond 224 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: Jonathan Metzil's book Dying of Whiteness. This is like, we 225 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: are going to burn everything to the ground because this group, 226 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: these people who we believe should still exist in shackles, 227 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: should still exist solely in service to us. Dare to 228 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: enter into that white house. We're voted in by Republicans, 229 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: by white folks right twice. 230 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 3: And white women right in sixteen. 231 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: So I'm like so to turn around and say, but 232 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: that was the whole point though with Donald Trump, because 233 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: it goes to Johnson's You know, if you can teach 234 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: the poorest white man that he's better than the best 235 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: black man, you can pick his pockets. Right, So you 236 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: give us your worst Donald Trump is the fucking worst, right. 237 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: Let you give us the most ignorant, the most egotistical, 238 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: the most dangerous, the most selfish right white man that 239 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: you could possibly put up to be president of the 240 00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: United States, the antithesis of what Obama is, and what 241 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: Obama is stood for as a smush in the face 242 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: to those of us that believed that we were on 243 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: the beginning of America's progressive transition and not this place 244 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: of deep regression. So my question is if they if 245 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: burning the sheets was the response, and burning down the 246 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: country now is their response to black people being in 247 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: a place of authority and power. Well, this doesn't ever end, Mark, 248 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: does it? Until they are sufficiently have burnt shit down. 249 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 2: Well, and let's let's add to it. Let's let's add 250 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 2: the ins to the injury for white folks. They what 251 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 2: did y'all and Heston say when he was head of 252 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 2: the NRA, If you want my gun, you have. 253 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: To come and take it from my cold dead hair, right. 254 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 2: Cry it from my prior. That was a metaphor for America, 255 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 2: because is changing. America is becoming a majority minority country, 256 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 2: all right. 257 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 3: So that's this is the last grasp. James Baldwin put 258 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 3: it this way. 259 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 2: He said, we have come to the end of one 260 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 2: language and are about forming a new one. America is 261 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 2: the last white country the world will ever see. There's 262 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 2: no more Western civilization, can't go no more west anymore. 263 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 2: That can't explore no more. That's it's over. That's why 264 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 2: you got to go out of space. Now, that's right there. 265 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 2: That's that's another word. Because we can't do anymore here. 266 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 2: So watch this, doctor King nineteen sixty five March from 267 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 2: some of the Montgomery at the Montgomery State Capital. How 268 00:17:55,560 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 2: after the Civil War, America had to had to, as 269 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 2: he said, engineer a segregated society. And this is what 270 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 2: he said, through their control of mass media, they revised 271 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 2: a doction of white supremacy. They saturated the thinking of 272 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 2: poor white masses with it, thus clouding their minds. All right, 273 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 2: then they directed all of this. They put new laws 274 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 2: on the books to Jim Crow, laws all of that. 275 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 2: And then doctor King says this, It may be said 276 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 2: of the slavery are that the white man took the 277 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 2: world and gave the negro Jesus. And then it may 278 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 2: be said that the constructor reconstruction area era that the 279 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 2: southern aristocracy Danielle took the world and gave the world 280 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 2: and gave the poor white man Jim Crow. And when 281 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 2: white man had this Jim Crow, when his wrinkled stomach 282 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 2: cried out for the food that his empty pockets could 283 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 2: not provide, he ate Jim Crow, a psychological bird that 284 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 2: told him to no matter how bad off he was, 285 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 2: at least he was a white man better off than 286 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 2: the black man. 287 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 3: Jim Crow was at birt. 288 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 2: So what is Trump is the current manifestations playing the 289 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 2: race card.

All right, 344 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 2: because that is the anestetization, and that's an easy fix. 345 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 2: That's the band aid for your everyday reality of working 346 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 2: too many long hours for too little money. So where 347 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 2: is the vision in America to change that? Where you 348 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 2: killed it in nineteen sixty five? You killed it in 349 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 2: nineteen sixty eight, twice. 350 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 3: In April and in June. 351 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 2: Killed it November sixty years this November, all. 352 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 3: Right, you killed it, you know, you know. 353 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 2: Then Johnson comes in and he's able to do some things, 354 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 2: but then that's the end of that. Then you bring 355 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 2: in Nixon, and I'm antaed this lit nice little bow. 356 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 3: Stop Nixon. 357 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 2: Junkies who don't get help and don't go to any meetings, right, 358 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 2: never admit the drug controls them. You always had a 359 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 2: feeling you can beat the drug now that I'm saying 360 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 2: junkies that can go for alcoholics, I got this. 361 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 3: I'm in control. No, you're not. 362 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 2: The junkies for this anarchy. Many of the same people 363 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 2: that were around in the seventies with Nixon what a Knicks, 364 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 2: always say this was a botched up job, botched up Burkeley, 365 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,239 Speaker 2: never an admission that you violated the constitution. You a 366 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 2: dog on criminal, I'm not a crook. The people Roger 367 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 2: Stone on Trump's man. 368 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 3: All the people, yep, yep, I like junkies. 369 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 2: They're still trying to prove that they got control over 370 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 2: their behavior that the criminality doesn't have control over. So 371 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 2: we can we can we we Nixon was botched up, man, 372 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 2: but we're gonna we can do this for you. 373 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 3: We're gonna fix this. 374 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,959 Speaker 2: At least Nixon had the sense they put he they 375 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 2: put a mirror in front of him, and they put 376 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,719 Speaker 2: a crystal ball, and they said, you're gonna end up 377 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 2: like a guy in the future named Trump. You're gonna 378 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 2: lose all your business licenses, your businesses, if you're gonna 379 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 2: lose all your property, you might go to prison. You're 380 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 2: gonna have ninety one charges against you. And Nixon still 381 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 2: had the sense, and he was now calling himself he 382 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 2: still had the sense. You know what, I don't think 383 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do that. I think I'll just resigned. That's 384 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 2: the deal we're gonna cut. You resign and all that 385 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 2: goes away. Trump doesn't get it because he's gonna go 386 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 2: down with the white supremacist slave ship. 387 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: And you know, Mark, I really hope that that is 388 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 1: the case. I really do, because you know, when Joyce 389 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 1: said this is the end of politics, I had said 390 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, this is white supremacy's last stand that day, 391 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 1: Election Day. That is what I said. Here we are 392 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 1: now eight plus years later, seven eight years later, and 393 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: we're watching this play out, the ninety one charges, two 394 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: impeachment trials, you know, losing the businesses on the hook 395 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: potentially for two hundred and fifty million or more here 396 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: in New York, right, We're watching all of this play out, 397 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: and I'm just like, but will it be the death? Now? 398 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm saying. If this is the 399 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: end of politics, this is the last question for you. 400 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: If this is the end of politics, then what comes depth? 401 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 3: Yeah? 402 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 2: Hey, well, first of all, you said some Danielle that 403 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 2: I really. 404 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 3: Just heard clearly, and I hope other people heard it 405 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 3: as well. Years. If folks, time is not on ours, 406 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 3: a time is flying. 407 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 2: Yep, y'all, we're almost a decade older than when now. 408 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 3: Trump came in power. Look at y'all. Do y'all look 409 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 3: the same? 410 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 2: Does anybody listen to us look the same in the 411 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 2: mirriad morning? They did ten years ago? 412 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 3: So that's ten years of foolishness and stress. 413 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 2: If any one of us was in a relationship, I'd 414 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 2: like to think with somebody that's crazy in our house. 415 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: For ten years they got to we would have said it. 416 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 3: So the answer ultimately. 417 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 2: Is going back to the unfinished business of the civil 418 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,679 Speaker 2: rights movement, of the black power movement, of the revolution. Okay, 419 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 2: and that is fundamentally changing this country. Well what does 420 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 2: that mean? So, folks, it's two kinds of revolution. Is 421 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 2: a revolution and a counter revolution. A revolution is for 422 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 2: positive change. Counter revolution is to stop it. Counterintelligence is 423 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 2: to stop that's cointeil pro. 424 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 3: So the revolution that. 425 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 2: Doctor King talked about, the Malcolm X talked about was 426 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,919 Speaker 2: transformative in the sense that America would live up to 427 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 2: the true meaning of its creed, that America would ultimately 428 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 2: endorse the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in America would 429 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 2: ultimately bring about reparations, and to break it down even more, 430 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 2: that role would be restored, that the Supreme Court would 431 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 2: be expanded, that there would be universal, same day, on 432 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 2: site automatic voter registration. Now, think about those last few 433 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 2: things I said in comparison to the other more lofty ideas, 434 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 2: though smaller things that don't sound like that doesn't sound 435 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 2: like it's heavy of a lift, does it? 436 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 3: But it's up to us to do it because they're 437 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 3: doing it. 438 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 2: We can't complain about the hatred and the vitriol and 439 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 2: violence because the same people who look like you and 440 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 2: me and doing it, they're out here doing it. We 441 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 2: sitting home, Doh, what we're gonna do? Huh, what's gonna happen? 442 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 3: You know? 443 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 2: And and I love Danielle, but but Danielle can't curse 444 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 2: everybody out to freedom. 445 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 3: No, we got, we got. I wish you could, you know. 446 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 2: But but we've got to organize, get ourselves together, take 447 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:25,959 Speaker 2: ourselves seriously, and make movement a part of our daily 448 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,239 Speaker 2: lives and our daily habits and not just succumb I'm 449 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 2: gonna say this, and this may may be u controversial 450 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 2: Gavin News some fills the seat in the Senate black 451 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 2: woman pledges a black woman. We can leave no stone 452 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 2: unturned when it comes to justice. No, no, no. If 453 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 2: white politicians and the Democratic Party has seniority and are 454 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 2: treated with seniority, black politicians should too. 455 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 3: Okay. So rather than people say, oh, you know and 456 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 3: I know sister find this. 457 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: Oh that's all good, you think Barbe, But why not Barbaralye? 458 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, she has. 459 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 2: This, why not Barbe? Oh it's her age, none of 460 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 2: no that it's not because her age. She voted four 461 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty four to one. She was the one 462 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 2: vote against against the war. We now know it was 463 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 2: a mistake. That was the Iraq War. So once you 464 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 2: look at all our progressive friends who pretend to be 465 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 2: our allies, allies to the black community, allies to the 466 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 2: Latino community, allies to the LGBTQI community, allies to the 467 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 2: to the women community, to the feminis community, the women's 468 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 2: community in California, we're gonna stop barb bely because we're 469 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 2: still on Iraq War time. This must be a total 470 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 2: total overhaul of the way we think, of the way 471 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 2: we support people and accountability. We put on people and 472 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 2: ultimately get to the place where we're not just voting 473 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 2: for somebody to stop Donald Trump. Yep, that's all we're 474 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 2: doing now. And yeah, to be fair, that didn't just 475 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:06,719 Speaker 2: start there. 476 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 3: For years. 477 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 2: We've been voting to stop people from somebody worse. If 478 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 2: we do what we need to do, we'll be in 479 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 2: the majority organically, not even by manipulation, not even through redistricting. 480 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 2: All the Poles support the things we believe in in 481 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 2: the majority. 482 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 3: That's what we gotta do. 483 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: My friend.
